8 Kendall Jenner for Pepsi

In the midst of turmoil in America, fueled both by police violence, and an emerging Black Lives Matter Movement seeking to fix America’s deeply-rooted racism problem, Pepsi thought it appropriate to release an ad featuring Kendall Jenner “solving” all these intractable problems. Kendall Jenner was seen handing cops a can of soda in the middle of chaos in America.

The commercial was immediately criticized by people who took to the internet to destroy it. Pepsi was left with a bad reputation due to its diluted imagery, trivialization of a major problem, and the inclusion of a Kardashian for good measure.
